What are the Best Headphones?

My name is Justin and I love great music and the the best headphones around, I searched all over to narrow down the best headphones by type and price for those interested.  Great music along with my favorite pair of headphones is an awesome combination that I’m sure many of you can relate with.   I have tested many of these products and gathered other information through hundreds to thousands of reviews and comments by average customers, audio professionals and musicians and technical details from Wiki.   I graduated as a sound engineer and love music and all things audio related, so I really wanted to create a quality website where people can get an unbiased review of these products.  We have cheaper products for those on a budget all the way up to expensive products for the avid audiophile.   All the products listed on this website are great quality electronics no matter what price, we really want to present the best of each type and price range.

* You Can Search By Price and Type of Headphone Through the Navigation at the Top.

If you’re interested we have sections on the best over ear headphones, best noise cancelling headphones, best earbuds, best running & exercising headphones and more.  Have a look around we tried to give you some valuable information on all different types and prices.

Great Spot to Get The Best Headphones?

We found through all the research the best place to buy the best headphones is Amazon , they have the cheapest price of guaranteed quality headphones in our opinion.   For the research on this website, we used our own ears, customer reviews, forums, professionals and musicians to compile the best list on this website.   Amazon is a great source where you can find really great discounts.   They are a licensed dealer of these products which makes it a nice all around spot.

If you’re looking for deals check – Today’s Deal’s in Electronics (I never knew about this section but they have some pretty big deals.

What are the best headphones for you?

For those that aren’t that into audio, many people prefer different products and want to know what are the top headphones around.  You can go with these different types of great headphones, here is a quick guide.

Types

Over Ear or Full Size can be open, closed and noise cancelling headphones.  A Full Sized headphone generally are more comfortable and fit nicely on your head. Most have nice drivers so you can easily power them with a MP3 player, ipod etc.  Even-though they can be generally more comfortable, other types of headphones are getting more and more comfortable.   Earbuds nowadays come with more and more tips that you can change and adjust.  If you’re conscience or worried about others hearing your music leaking through, I would go with over ear headphones or noise cancelling headphones.

EarBuds (also called in ear monitors, IEM’s, ear canal, earphones etc) Some ear buds fit deeper or shallower into your ear.  Some come with different tips for comfort, we review all of them and let you know if they come with those or what the reviews say about the comfort.   A nice thing about Earbuds is that they isolate pretty well, so you don’t have to go and blast them to make up for outside noise.   A good example is musicians that want to isolate what they’re listening too and not have to over compensate for the outside noise.

Noise Cancelling Headphones are designed to block out external noise, some are active (they need a battery source) and some are non active and don’t need that extra energy source to power them.   A Noise Cancelling Headphone comes in full size and also Earbuds.   You can find some really nice ones in here that rival the so called “best” noise cancelling sets out there.   Some are great at advertising and not so good at delivering, so we have a great list of noise cancelling headphones that might not get as much attention but definitely over deliver.

I really wanted to find the greatest products out there and give you some great information if you want to get a great set no matter what the price is.   Hopefully with this website you will find the best headphones for you and let me know if you have any questions, I would love to help.

We also have celebrity and comic headphones like, the hip hop artist Ludacris headphones and Captain America headphones.

Some of the top posts that get the most views are the Sennheiser HD 598 review, Sennheiser HD 650 , Sony MDR-V6 Review and Ludacris Headphones.

But all the headphones listed on this website are some of the best headphones in their type and price range.   So have a look around and if you have any suggestions or headphones you want reviewed, you can either send me a message on Twitter to the right or leave a comment.

As you can probably see I like Sennheiser I think they’re really under rated but they’re plenty of great headphones by other manufacturers.   Every headphone maker can make some of the best headphones or some of the worst also.   Some of the headphones being over-hyped are great at marketing but actually have really badly made headphones and vice versa.

So if you’re wondering what are the best headphones? Then have a look around, I tried to organize it for everyone’s different tastes and budget.

Thanks for visiting Best Headphones HQ.

Five Televisions Offering Audiophile Quality Sound

Today I have a guest post about Televisions that have great audio and sound quality.

Too often the focus on visuals in the television market dominates the progression of new products, neglecting the quality of the sound. The good news is that there are a number of televisions on the market which can still boast fantastic sound quality. To save you visiting innumerable electrical stores and listening to each and every television on the market, here is a round-up of some of the most attractive options for those who care about the quality of sound coming from their TV.

Vizio P50HDTV10A

This offering from Vizio shows us the highest level of functionality available at the moment when it comes to audio. This set has a wide range of connections, making it compatible with the preferences of any audiophile. The only downside being the absence of an RS 232 or IR input.

The Vizio set also offers a number of on-board equalising controls. Users can affect the bass, treble and balance allowing full control over the television’s audio output. While users have full control, they will notice that the bass is particularly strong on this set. The Vizio is capable of creating a punchy bass sound which does not distort speech, as is so common in many of today’s televisions.

Panasonic VIERA TXL42ET5B

The only 3D tv to appear on our list, the Panasonic is a television set designed for watching films in high quality. The audio on the Panasonic set offers unrivalled clarity with great lows and mids. As standard you can expect a digital optical out and 1080p resolution.

Sony XBR HX929

The speakers built in to the Sony set leave a little to be desired. However, this television makes up for it when used in conjunction with a full system, or even a simple sound bar. Specifications wise, there is little that this television set is not capable of. You do get the IR and RS 232C features, unlike with the Vizio. The Sony also features a number of built-in sound enhancing features whose presence becomes noticeable when the sound is run through your existing system.

LG 32LV355U

This LG set offers high audio quality at a lower price than the above two sets. While the connectivity is not as great as the above two sets, the quality represents astonishing depth considering this set’s cost. Users can expect a digital optical output for connection to AV sound systems.

Samsung UE40D5520

This set comes in around the middle of most budgets. Offering 1080p and brilliant connectivity, the Samsung ticks all of the regular boxes. You won’t receive quite the level of balancing capabilities that you will find on the Vizio, but the sound is as punchy and wholesome. A top quality product from a well known brand.

Bose Quietcomfort 15 Review

Bose Quietcomfort 15 Review

Bose Quietcomfort 15 Review

Today I wanted to go over the Bose Quietcomfort 15, as far as noise cancelling these are leading in the field and have been the big boy’s for awhile now.  Depending on what you want you might want these or you might prefer something different.  I’ll go over the pros and cons of these headphones.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bose for awhile but they hit a home run with some of their headphones, this is one and for noise cancelling I don’t think you will find better.

Bose Quietcomfort 15

Do you want more noise cancellation than audio quality? That’s something to think about.  If you aren’t an audiophile and can’t notice every little thing and want the best noise cancelling than go with these I would say.  If you’re an audiophile and want quality over a little less noise cancelling I would go with the Sennheiser PXC 450.

Both are great headphones and the differences are minimal but they’re still good to take into consideration if you are going to spend that money for quality headphones.

Advancements

These Bose acoustic headphones have made a lot of improvements and this model is better than the others.  They cancel noise better, they sound better and they’re more comfortable.  I have been trying these headphones since the beginning and these gave me faith in Bose again.  The QC15′s are also integrated with some iphone technology if you have an iphone.  They make it easy to answer calls with these headphones. The battery life is also better and allow for rechargeable batteries for the active noise cancellation.

Quietcomfort 15 Specs

  • Size - Product Dimensions: 7.5 x 3 x 6.5 inches ; 7.4 ounces
  • Weight: 3 pounds
  • Ear Cushion Size - 3.8″H x 2.9″W ( 9.6 cm x 7.4 cm )
  • AAA battery: 35 hours average life

Bose Quietcomfort 15 Frequency Response

Unfortunately Bose doesn’t give out their frequency response like a lot of other manufactures but there have been different tests on these headphones by independent people.  The test are kind of all over the place, some say it performed well with lower tones and base and didn’t do as great with higher frequency’s.   It’s hard to say without an official test but we can take away from the overall reviews of the headphones from professionals and average customers.

Bose Quiet Comfort 15 Review Conclusion

If you want the best noise cancellation I would seriously consider these, Bose has put most of it’s effort into creating the best noise cancellation around.  If you don’t really notice the smaller details like audiophiles then these are perfect for you.  Don’t get me wrong that sound great and are great quality, it’s hard to notice any difference if you’re not trained to pick out the small things.    I would have to say these are my favorite headphones as far as pure noise cancellation.
